Why You Are Just as "Greedy" as a Billionaire (And Why That’s Good News)
Let’s be honest: looking at the state of the world right now can feel heavy. Whether you are scrolling through headlines about war, military funding, or the massive corporations—Google, Meta, Spotify—that seem to pull the strings behind the scenes, it is easy to feel small. It is easy to feel frustrated.
We received a question recently that hits the nail on the head: “How do we deal with injustice? What do we do with the people at the top—the billionaires and the greedy leaders—who seem to profit from conflict and keep the darkness alive?”
It is a valid question. But the answer the Universe gives us is probably not the one you want to hear. It’s annoying, it’s confronting, but it is the only thing that actually works.
To answer this, we tapped into a rather eclectic "spirit team"—including the energy of Saint Nicholas, Jesus, and the recently passed Dutch icon Dieuwertje Blok. Their message? Stop pointing the finger, and start looking in the mirror.
The Illusion of the "Bad Guy"
We live in the Third Dimension. This is the plane of illusion. It is a world designed for duality: light and dark, pain and love. You cannot have one without the other.
When we see injustice—like billionaires funding weapons or capitalizing on suffering in places like Sudan—it triggers a righteous anger. We think: “They are the problem. They are the monsters.”
But spiritually, the external world is just a magnified projection of our collective internal world.
Those "monsters" at the top? They are simply acting out the shadows that exist within all of us, but on a massive, exaggerated stage. They are the mirrors. They are showing us the greed, the fear of lack, and the selfishness that we refuse to acknowledge in our own lives.
The Micro-Dose of Greed
This is the part where your ego might want to stop reading. “I’m not like them,” you think. “I don’t fund wars.”
Maybe not. But we are all built from the same human "blocks." We all carry the same DNA of light and shadow. If you feel intense frustration about greed "out there," it is a signal that there is unresolved greed or fear "in here."
Ask yourself the uncomfortable questions:
Where are you still holding on tight out of fear?
Where are you putting your own interests above the collective, even in small ways?
Where is your inner "dictator" silencing your own feelings?
The frustration you feel toward the external world is actually a frustration with your internal reality. The Universe is shouting at you through these global events, trying to get you to look at your own shadow.
Accountability is Freedom
We often think that if we admit we have "ugly" traits—that we can be selfish, bitchy, or hurtful—we make ourselves bad people.
Actually, it’s the opposite. Denying your shadow keeps you trapped. Acknowledging it sets you free.
We received a beautiful download from the other side: Pain is an inherent part of your day. Just like breathing. You wake up, and there will be a moment of pain, a moment where you are not "love and light," a moment where you might be the villain in someone else’s story.
That is not a mistake. That is the design.
Without making mistakes, without hurting others (and being hurt), you cannot navigate your soul’s course. If you try to live as a "perfect" person who never does anything wrong, you are fighting the very purpose of your incarnation. You become a cat in a corner, making strange jumps to avoid your own humanity.
Making the Human "Less" Important
We have a tendency to make our human identity too important ("I am a bad person if I do X") and our soul identity too small.
The truth? You are equally as powerful as the billionaires you despise. You are on the exact same playing level. The moment you take accountability for your own inner "war crimes"—the way you judge yourself, the way you speak unkindly to yourself, the tiny acts of greed—you stop feeding the energy of the collective shadow.
Protesting has its place. But if everyone did the inner work to heal their own sense of lack and unworthiness, the external reality must shift to match it. That is the law.
Your "Relevance" Score
We often walk around wondering, “Do I matter? Am I relevant?”
Here is the spiritual truth: You matter more than you know.
When you accept all parts of yourself—the saint and the sinner, the generous soul and the greedy human—you reclaim your power. You stop projecting your power onto "them" (the rich, the powerful, the corrupt) and you bring it back home.
So, take a deep breath. Acknowledge the part of you that is a little bit "greedy." High-five it. Love it. And then, watch how the world around you starts to change.
High five to Jesus, high five to the billionaires, and high five to you. You are doing the work.
